Okay, so I'll admit, the most common collection of chords has already edged its way into my songwriting, and I've only been writing songs since Friday. My first song was solely Am, F, C, G, but I managed to mix it up by including Cm, Dm, and C7 in my next song.
However, in the one that is currently threatening to devour my soul, I am going INSANE trying to figure out the chorus.
Here are the lyrics:
Because speech is a peach
But peaches have pits
And I love to debate
But I mostly just sit
In the cafeteria
With my teammates
While I wait for my rounds
And to see if I break
Speech is a peach with a pit
As you can tell, it's a long chorus, so simply going back and forth between Am and F, which is how I've worked out the tune of every other line, gets really repetitive. I tried throwing a D in there for the every second line, but it throws the song too high. G sounds okay in there, but I'm having a hard time working out the tune with a G in there. I don't want to use a C, because that's how I end the last line of the chorus.
If any of this makes any sense to you, do you have suggestions as to what chords fit in nicely into a C, Am, F, G progression?
